Configuring the Mesh AP

Note.
network, it must be preconfigured for mesh services, including the mesh services
SSID, and the pre-shared key for establishing the connection between the Mesh
AP and the Mesh Portal AP.
1
Attach the AP to your network, apply power, and allow the AP to boot as a regular AP.
2
Once the AP has booted, use the following command to enable mesh services on the AP.
set ap num boot-configuration mesh mode {enable | disable}
3
Use the following command to specify the pre-shared key:
set ap num boot-configuration mesh {psk-phrase pass-phrase | psk-raw raw-pass}
When a pass-phrase is specified, it is converted into a raw hexadecimal key and stored in the AP boot
configuration.
4
Use the following command to specify the mesh services SSID:
set ap num boot-configuration mesh ssid mesh-ssid
When the AP is booted, and determines that there is no Ethernet link to the network, then the AP has to be
associated with the specified mesh-ssid.
When a mesh-ssid is specified, the regulatory domain of the WSS and the power restrictions are copied to
the AP flash memory. This prevents the Mesh AP from operating outside of regulatory limits after
booting and before receiving a complete configuration from the WSS. Consequently, it is im0000portant
that the regulatory and antenna information specified on the WSS reflects the locale where the Mesh AP
is to be deployed, to avoid regulatory violations.
